Sorry, we can't find any suggestions at the moment.
Since the Islamic Revolution in Iran, capital punishment is carried out according to Islamic law, which gives the family of the victim ownership of the offender's life. Day Break - based on a compilation of true stories and shot inside Tehran's century-old prison - revolves around the imminent execution of Mansour, a man found guilty of murder. When the family of the victim repeatedly fails to show up on the appointed day, Mansour's execution is postponed again and again. Stuck inside the purgatory of his own mind, he waits as time passes on without him, caught between life and death, retribution and forgiveness.

| Old School ReviewsJohn A. NesbitRahmanian offers recognizable touches of Abbas Kiaroastami's work |
| CinematicalChristopher CampbellMaintains its intrigue amidst an existential style that normally results in slow and drearily dull cinema. |
| User ReviewEdith NThe film begins in the style of a faux-documentary, and then interjects with flashbacks and later hypothetical story outcomes. Too many stylistic shifts distract from a story that presents a strange loop hole in Iranian law which allows a man to remain on death row perpetually so long as the family of the victim do not show up for the execution. Surprisingly, the story is entirely concerned with his predictable emotional breakdown, and makes no comment on punishment verses rehabilitation, or that what is apparently most flawed about the law is the fact that they don't seek consent from the victims' family before setting the dates of execution. Criticisms aside, this is a rare portrait of Iran and its culture. It still beats seeing Norbit any day. |
